On The Death Of Richard Doyle Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBABABABA| A light of blameless laughter fancy bred | A |
| Soft souled and glad and kind as love or sleep | B |
| Fades and sweet mirth's own eyes are fain to weep | B |
| Because her blithe and gentlest bird is dead | A |
| Weep elves and fairies all that never shed | A |
| Tear yet for mortal mourning you that keep | B |
| The doors of dreams whence nought of ill may creep | B |
| Mourn once for one whose lips your honey fed | A |
| Let waters of the Golden River steep | B |
| The rose roots whence his grave blooms rosy red | A |
| And murmuring of Hybl an hives be deep | B |
| About the summer silence of its bed | A |
| And nought less gracious than a violet peep | B |
| Between the grass grown greener round his head | A |
